the wheel design on their own isnt bad but i really, really hate chrome wheels... in my book they have no place on a euro or jap car.
putting chrome 'shoes' on a GTI is sacrilege .. let the chromie hommies keep their bling to their holdens and rex's

I'll admit, that is what I am hesitant about. I would want to see them in the flesh before buying them, which would make it hard as they're so hard to find. I was also considering the Lamborghini Gallardo OEM 19" rims.

For anyone who intends doing any track days or country road driving, you might regret going with any wheel over 18". And this is doubly so if you are lowered. There isn't enough compliance in the tyre wall with such low profiles and your shiney new rims take the brunt of the impact. But they do look good
